Advances in technology have become so widely accepted in today’s culture that very few people are willing to pause to consider the consequences. People get so excited about what new technologies can offer that they forget to question whether there might be any negative effects. Without caution and deliberation, replacing the natural with the mechanical would undoubtedly be disasterous.
The economic implications of the potential mechanical takeover alone should be enough to dissuade anyone from moving too fast. In the event the robots are more widely used in the workplace, humans would surely be replaced. At first, businesses would benefit from the efficiency of robots, but eventually a depressed job market would lead to a population that struggles just to feed themselves and their families, let alone purchase the products these robots make. In the long run, society will suffer if it does not take care to prevent the economic consequences of giving everything over to machines.
Our careless use of automation has already taken a toll on our culture. People have been interacting with automation in nearly every aspect of their lives, whether it be shopping, banking, or the use of a telephone. The effect of this is obvious: basic respect for our fellow man is all but absent today because of increased interaction with automation. Why treat a machine with kindness? It suffers no emotional or psychological damage. In a culture saturated with automation, we get used to treating machines rudely, and we begin to treat each other rudely. This of course leads to all sorts of issues, like intolerence and incivility, and in the long run, results in the complete degradation of culture.
Even in the face of these obstacles, some people argue that the increasing intelligence of today’s machines is a good thing. After all, machine power can decrease the human work load. Computer processers double in power and ability every year. Computers are projected to reach human intelligence by as soon as 20xx. The implications of this shift are unknown, but one thing is for certain. We are moving into this change too fast to anticipate and prevent damage to the human species. We are approaching this change too quickly for any sort of safety net to be built. Because of this, it is important that we as a species slow down our technological development so that we might consider all the implications of a change this big. We must figure out how to handle negative societal and cultural consequences before we embrace total integration of automated, intelligent machines.
Decreasing the speed with which we incorporate mechanical influence is important because of the potential dangers that lurk in blind acceptance. Not only does the preference of the mechanical over the natural interfere with the job market and the economy, but its use also has the potential to seriously degrade our culture as a whole. In combination with the uncertainty surrounding the increasing intelligence of machines, it is most assuredly better for the human species that technological progress be slowed so that we can, if necessary, prevent additional damage.
act满分范文2Materialism has become so widely accepted in today’s culture that very few people are willing to pause to consider the consequences. People get so excited about what materialism can offer that they forget to question whether there might be any negative effects. Without caution and deliberation, being obsessed with money and material things would undoubtedly be disastrous.
The psychological implications of pursuing material wealth alone should be enough to dissuade anyone from moving too fast. The desire for more stuff may spur people to work harder or even overtime. At first, salary earners would be happy to see their incomes and bonuses rise, but
eventually the desire for more may lead to greed, motivating people to use all possible means, fair or foul, to improve performance and turning the work place into an overly competitive environment. In the long run, society will suffer if it does not take care to prevent the unhealthy psychology of putting material wealth over everything else.
Our undue fascination with material objects has already taken a toll on our humanity. People yearn for more expensive, if not luxurious, things in nearly every aspect of their lives, whether it be dwelling, clothing, or transportation. The effect of this is obvious: possession comes to be valued over other things such as family, friends and community. Why spend an hour chatting with mom? I can’t get paid for this. Why treat a friend to dinner? It’ll cost me a fortune! In a culture saturated with materialism, the foundation of interpersonal relationships becomes merely a blatant calculation of what financial benefit will be achieved. In the long run, this new mindset and way of evaluating people results in the erosion of traditional values and the complete loss of humanity.
Even in the face of these obstacles, some people argue that the
preoccupation with materialism is a good thing. After all, materialism enables people to live comfortable lives and enjoy higher living standards. It is the blessings of materialism that remove the agony of poverty, the sorrows of illness and the discomforts of a limited life. The implications of this phenomenon are unknown, but one thing is for certain. We are indulging ourselves in materialism too deeply to anticipate and prevent
act满分范文3The Senior Itch—the incurable chaffing we all crave to scratch. The cure? Graduation. As we progress through our high school years growing with wisdom and maturity, we all yearn for freedom. Yet what we desire most is not always what is best for us. Although most won't want to admit it, extending our high school career to five years would make an important and beneficial impact on our future. With the four years that are currently provided, there is not enough time for motivated students to accomplish their goals before college. Merely being accepted by a selective college or university requires much pre-planned effort that is literally unavailable to students already concerned with grades and other activities. Colleges look most thoroughly at how an applicant used his or her four years of high school. Leadership roles, a dedication to an organization, and a well-rounded, involved student is appealing to the most elite educational institutions. Often, students desire leadership positions in numerous extra-curricular organizations, but face limiting regulations on the number of offices they may hold at one time. Even if a school doesn't limit students' involvement, students eventually reach the limits of what a 24-hour day can hold. Too often, students cannot participate
as much as they want in as many extra-curriculars as they want because there just isn't time. With an extra year of high school, those involved in more than one activity could successfully find the time to contribute to and to lead each one. Colleges would see a longer, more developed individual's resume that included a time for each of their interests. The organizations would benefit from stronger student participation and the students would be recognized for their true efforts as well. Because they struggle to gain leadership roles and become the well-rounded students colleges desire, the task of maintaining a respectable grade-point-average during high school is a struggle for many students. It is difficult to be involved in activities of interest while still keeping high grades. However, colleges don't consider this when they seek applicants with high grade-point-averages in their admissions pool. Elongating the span of high school would allow more students with both grades and activities on their agenda to spend more time focusing on each separate interest. Rather than feeling forced to crunch a large block of "weighted" classes together in hopes of elevating their GPA, students would find more time to spread out their difficult classes and make the most of every single year. With less pressure and more time, grades would improve for all dedicated
